Not Voting—0 In The Chair: President Senator Polehanki offered the following amendment: 1. Amend page 114, following line 1, by inserting: “ Sec. 29. (1) From the state school aid fund money appropriated under section 11, there is allocated for 2021-2022 an amount not to exceed $200,000,000.00 for payments as provided under this section to eligible districts described in subsection (2). (2) A district for which its highest October 3-year count exceeds the calculation of membership for that district under section 6(4) for 2021-2022 is an eligible district under this section. (3) The payment to each eligible district under this section must be equal to [the difference between the district’s highest October 3-year count and the district’s total 2021-2022 pupils in membership] multiplied by the district’s foundation allowance as calculated under section 20, not to exceed the target foundation allowance described in section 20. (4) If funds allocated under this section are insufficient to fully fund the calculations under this section, the department shall apply proration on an equal percentage per district. (5) As used in this section, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, “highest October 3-year count” means the highest number of pupils counted in membership on the pupil membership count day for the current fiscal year and the 2 fiscal years immediately preceding the current fiscal year. However, for a district that is not a cyber school, as that term is defined in section 551 of the revised school code, MCL 380.551, when determining the number of pupils counted in membership on pupil membership count day for the 2020-2021 school year for purposes of this subsection, the number of pupils to be counted in membership for that pupil membership count day are the number of pupils engaged in pandemic learning for fall 2020. ” and adjusting the totals in section 11 and enacting section 1 accordingly. Senator Chang requested the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered, 1/5 of the members present voting therefor.
